I'm sitting here with a sad face because you're story is over. What a great author you are!
50 years old. Good golly miss molly. That bag is probably older than most of the Coachies on tpf. And it looks amazing. That leather, oh dear, that leather.
Your rehabs are wonderful and so much fun to read about and thank you for including us in your adventures!
(and kudos to that cobbler...I didn't think that could be fixed.)
Thank you so much! Yes she is older than most Coachies but not me! I was just a little girl when Bonnie Cashin originally designed her, and that makes her even more special because she is a part of my Baby Boomer history!
And the cobbler really did a wonderful job! I am so glad that I had the good sense to take her to a professional rather than trying to fix her myself. I would have surely damaged the frame.
If I look closely there are a couple of "tiny dimples" on the inside of the kisslock frame but they are barely noticeable, and he was careful not to make any marks on the outside! Nice work!
